Make Sentence Structure Work for You

Using Bullet Points and Lists

This class emphasizes clarity, brevity, and conciseness in business writing. It also includes a review of sentence structure, punctuation rules, and ways to make your writing persuasive.

Topics include:

• Writing sentences with impact
• Making requests that elicit responses
• Organizing memos and letters effectively
• Responding to complaints in a positive way
• Adding zest and flair to your writing

Seminar tips:

• When requesting information in writing, be sure to be specific. If your request is precise, it is easy to find the information and respond. Vague requests are too general and tend to be ignored.
• Doublets are multiword phrases with overlapping meanings. Avoid doublets such as "key essentials," "my personal opinion," and "future outlook."
• Edit jargon and buzz words ruthlessly to keep your writing fresh. Most business "slang" becomes dated and seems insincere. Avoid terms like "viable option" and "thinking outside of the box."
